2014 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · KT14 LKC

The 2025‑12‑10 MOT at 85,211 miles was recorded as a PASS, confirming the vehicle met all statutory requirements at that point; the simultaneous FAIL entry with no defects recorded appears to be a clerical duplication and does not alter the current roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend is stable, with annual testing and no escalating defects. The mileage has risen from 78,104 miles in December 2023 to 85,211 miles by December 2025, a gain of 7,107 miles over two years, or roughly 3,550 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. The intervals between tests are regular, showing no extended periods of inactivity and a consistent accumulation of mileage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and rear subframe, all of which are common failure points on high‑mileage V40s of this age. The exhaust emissions test passed with no remarks, suggesting the catalytic converter and related components are likely sound, but a physical check of the exhaust system for corrosion and integrity is advisable; given the absence of recorded advisories, the vehicle appears well‑maintained, yet a thorough pre‑purchase inspection of the highlighted mechanical components remains essential.
